Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on evaluating the antimicrobial and anticancer properties of secondary metabolites from Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus siamensis strains, known for producing bioactive compounds.
- - After isolation and purification, the metabolites showed significant antibacterial activity, particularly from isolates 56 (B. licheniformis) and 60 (B. siamensis), and reduced cancer cell viability in a dose-dependent manner, inducing apoptosis.
- - Key findings included a drastic decrease in the viability of PC-3 cancer cells (to 23% for strain 56 and 25% for strain 60) and significant apoptosis levels, indicated by increased gene expressions associated with programmed cell death.
In Iran, dairy-based fermented foods, like yogurt, cheese, fermented milk, buttermilk, kashk, butter, and Doogh are essential dietary components. Doogh is typically made using fermented yogurt or buttermilk. However, a literature review revealed a lack of research on extracting probiotics from Doogh during processing.

Platelets pose a special risk given their preservation methods.
